Script for scrolling

hi,

I have seen on several sites that have some image on the right hand side
where it would continue to scroll down as you scroll down. I was wondering
if anyone know the script of how that is done. Thanks.

Re: Script for scrolling

Here's one way. The CSS properties background-image, background-position,
and background-attachment let you specify an image, its placement, and its
behavior when the page scrolls. Here's an example that forces the background
image to remain in the same position relative to the page when the user
scrolls the page. Replace yourImageHere in the URL below with your own
background image. I positioned the image at 400 x 20, but you can place it
anywhere you like. The image remains steady while the page content scrolls
over it.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css">
.fixImg { background-attachment: scroll}
</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="background-image: url(YourImageHere.gif);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 400px 20px;">

Re: Script for scrolling

Thanks for the tip, what if I want an active X control to keep scrolling.
I was thinking of inserting the active x control in a layer and as the user
scrolls down the web page, the layer would scroll with it. Is there a way
to do this. Would CSS properties work? thanks.

Re: Script for scrolling

No. Other than for the background image, as shown in my previous post, CSS
properties won't work. You can write a script to reposition the layer (or
the control itself, for that matter) whenever the user scrolls the page. Use
the document.body.scrollTop and document.body.scrollLeft properties to
determine the offset for the item relative to its inital position on the
page.

Typically, images and other items flicker or jump when you use this
technique. One way to minimize that is to make them invisible whenever the
user scrolls the page. Check the scroll value periodically, say ever 50
milliseconds, with a timer (see window.setTimeout) until you get two
identical values in a row. At that point, the user has (at least
temporarily) stopped scrolling, and you can make the item(s) visible again
in their new positions.
